What does a head coach whoâs never been to the playoffs tell his players about the playoffs?

Itâs something the eight seniors on this team can relate to.

âIâve talked to a lot of coaches who have been in my position and I just try to heed their advice and make it fun for the guys,â BSHS boysâ basketball head coach Cliff Thompson said. âFor a lot of them, I just make sure theyâre enjoying it because itâs the last time theyâll get to do this. For me, itâs a learning process, for them itâs the only chance they get.â

POST â The Big Spring Steers have had a little more than a week of preparation for their bi-district playoff game against Bowie Tuesday.

But the way they ended the regular season â a 69-54 loss at Abilene Wylie â is still fresh in their minds. So head coach Cliff Thompson and the Steers didnât mind expressing how good a 74-58 win over Paducah felt, even if it was a playoff warm-up game.

âWe needed that after that Wylie game,â he said. âWe didnât play well. Paducah is a good team. Just Monday, they beat Seminole, who won their
3A district. We played well and that was good to see.â

POST â Youth and inexperience caught up with the Grady Lady Wildcats when they met No.14 Paducah in the girlsâ Class A, Division II area championship Friday.

âWe shot ourselves in the foot a lot,â Grady head coach Ken Hefner said.âBut itâs not a lack of effort. The kids played hard all year long. They did some great things. Itâs just disappointing to finish on a night like this.â

Paducah handed a 58-35 loss to the Lady Cats, whose playoff run ended after a win over Ropes in the bi-district round Tuesday.
